Hello, I've made a basic corridor using immediate OpenGL drawing and I want to transfer it to VBOs. However, it just doesn't work. The immediate drawing works fine, yet I tried to make it using VBOs and it doesn't work. Here is what I am trying to create:

And here is the code that I used for that:

      GL11.glColor3f(1F, 0F, 0F);
      GL11.glVertex3f(0.5F, 1.5F, 1.0F);
      GL11.glColor3f(0F, 1F, 0F);
      GL11.glVertex3f(0.5F, 1.5F, -15.0F);
      GL11.glColor3f(0F, 0F, 1F);
      GL11.glVertex3f(0.5F, -1.5F, -15.0F);
      GL11.glColor3f(0.5F, 0.5F, 0.5F);
      GL11.glVertex3f(0.5F, -1.5F, 1.0F);


Yet when I try to use VBOs for the same thing, it doesn't work and I just get a black window. Here is my class to create is using VBOs.

It looks like you are doing vertex arrays and not VBOs. The dead give away is the lack of a VBO id or any glBuffer stuffs.

Look at the LWJGL for some tutorials on using VBOs but I would get vertex arrays working first as they are almost VBOs.

Since you are not interleaving your vertex array, you should have not have a stride or offsets.

Also, you may want to do thing outside the static context.

Thanks Tongue I was half-reading a tutorial but I was trying to do my own way at the same time Tongue I'll look up on vertex arrays some more - thanks.

Your element size and strides don't make any sense in glColorPointer and glVertexPointer.  In both cases, your element size is 3 (red/green/blue and x/y/z).  Since each consecutive attribute immediately follows the previous, your stride should be 0 (not 4 << 2, which is 16 btw).
